1t is now 1922, 600.
Referring to the cost of the Mich
oils government, the Picayune of July
3, 1878. now the champion of its res
toration, said:
1t is true that the last Legislature
instituted some partial reforms and
effected some small retrenchments in
the administration; but it is also true
that the performance of the Legisla-
ture falls, so far, infinitely short Of
Democratic inspiration. The result is
a profound disappointment and disgust
throughout the State. The State adj
ministration is more expensive in all
its departments than it is in other
States of the Union; and vet no ore
will pretend that Louisiana is better
able than other States to bear the bur
den of government. 1t is more ex.
pensive, more extravagant than it was
in the State prior to the war.
These figures speak for themselves.
Also the reforms made upon the
amendments proposed by the Nichols
government. It will be observed that
these amendments made scarcely any
material change in the bayonet Con.
stitution of 1868, and that they left
intact the exorbitant rate of interest
of seven per cent on the public debt
Almost, if not all the reforms that
the people demanded have been made
since the retirement of the Nichols
government, and we venture the as
sertion that the State government, fol-
the last half century, has never been
so economically administered as at the
present time.
Gov. Nichols cannot 60 before the
people as Reformcr upon the show
ing made by his government, as the
facts and the figures will not sustain
him.
What reforms has be to propose
now' Is the question we would like te
see answered. If it is not answered
then the cry of Reform is but a catch
word and a humbug, and our able
efficient and progressive Democrat,
governor should be retained.-[Capi

You are feeling depressed, your appetite
is poor, you are bothered with Headache,
you are fidgety, nervous, and generally
out of sorts, and want to brace up. Brace

sis, very cheap, bad whisky, and which
stimulate you for an hour, and then leave
you in a worse condition than before.
What you want is an Alternative that will
purify your blood, start healthy action of
Liver and Kidneys, restore your vitality,
and give renewed health and strength.
Such a medicine you will find in Electric
